Implementing a Custom Email Notification Delivery Module

By default, AgilePoint uses System.Web.Mail for the Email Delivery Module. However, System.Web.Mail sometimes may not work as well with some SMTP servers. AgilePoint provides the flexibility to allow you to plug-in your own email delivery module or use a third-party component for the email delivery.

To plug-in your own mail delivery module:

1. First, implement the interface IWFSMTPService:

   public interface IWFSMTPService
   {
     void Authenticate(String smtpServer, String authenticateString);
     void Send(
           String mailDeliverableID,
           System.Text.Encoding encoding,
           Constants.MailFormat format,
           Constants.MailPriority priority,
           String sender,
           String to,
           String cc,
           String subject,
           String body,
           String attachments);
   }

2. Add your assembly and class information into the AgilePoint Server configuration file (netflow.cfg). For example:

   <configuration>
           .. ..
           <notification mode="true"       
           smtpService="EasyMailForSMTP:CustomSMTP.EasyMailForSMTPService:"
           .. ..

   Where EasyMailForSMTP is the assembly name and CustomSMTP.EasyMailForSMTPService is the class name.
